About John's RV rentals

While teaching is my true passion and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with kids nine months of the year, I also love helping people get out and enjoy the outdoors. Growing up camping and taking backpack trips out west, I have come to love the freedom of going to the lake to fish and enjoying hikes through Wisconsin's abundant scenery. My wife and I have three great kids that have changed our ability to be gone for our summers, but would love the opportunity to help you enjoy a weekend away from home. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions. We will do everything within our power to accommodate your vacation needs for this camping season.

John is great. Everything was as advertised, and our trip couldn’t have gone any smoother. Will definitely be renting from Black Dog Recreation again!

Needs a bluetooth music player. Nice older camper. Well equipped and outdoor carpet provided. Everything was on and operating.

From start to finish a disappointing experience. The camper showed up late and dirty to the campsite. There was dirty bedding in the closet and along side the bed. The kitchen was not wiped down at all. When I asked about the water tank readings that showed 1/3 tank of fresh water and one full gray tank I was assured it was a sensor problem that had come along for the ride. …..on day two when we ran out of water it was clear that the readings were correct. John did send someone out to put water in the tank. All in all it convinced us that we will not be doing that again. Shame

Very nice unit, clean and stock with many essential items. the only complaint we had, and it is more for knowledge and help to prepare for the weekend, the bed was harder than I expected. Being a camper I knew the bed would be hard, but it was like sleeping directly on the plywood. If we rent next year I will be bringing a topper for us.

John & Zach were accommodating of our schedule, allowing us to pick up the camper directly from the campground it was at. Pick up went smoothly, on-time & quickly. Zach was reachable by phone for any issues.

Black Dog Recreation is the best RV rental I have experience I have ever had. John is very easy to deal with. We will always rent from him.
Black Dog has a variety of RVs to choose from, so you're sure to find the right one to fit your budget and needs.
